In 2023, CVR Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,370,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 3,560,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and about 810,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This data reflects a significant increase in emissions compared to 2022, when the company recorded approximately 3,620,000,000 kg CO2e (2,970,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 650,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2). CVR Energy has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of reduction targets suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. The emissions data is cascaded from their parent company, CVR Energy, Inc., indicating that the figures are part of a broader corporate family approach to emissions reporting. As a current subsidiary, CVR Energy, Inc. provides the foundational data for understanding the environmental impact of its operations. Overall, while CVR Energy's emissions have increased, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
